I don't know! Maybe you meant the armor! Maybe there aren't any goddam rules to this! It's not like it makes any sense in the first place. [HUFF. forgive him for being cautious!!]
... Ugh, right. I guess I should drop off Wash's armor over there, or something. I might have to take over his room? I didn't exactly have a bunk with Cee.

The armor's different, but the rest of me isn't. [ BESIDES THE BEING HUMAN PART. But that's beyond the point. ]
Might as well take over his room. It's not like he'll be needing it while he's stuck like this.

Last I checked you lived here and had a key. Knock yourself out.
That's not what I meant when I asked!
[UUUUGH.]
It's not my fault this stuff is apparently complicated.

Kaneda's the one who made it complicated. He asked me on a date like-- to make things up to him, but we hang out a lot already so I just figured maybe I had the wrong idea about dates.

What the hell does he think dates are?
I'onno!
[you can hear her voice raise with her shoulders.]
He just said dates and hanging out were different!

...That's all. He bitched about how they were different but didn't say how.
Do you need me to talk to him?

Do you mean talk or scare the life out of him?
Cos if you're gonna do the second, you're gonna have to wait until I'm around to watch.

Call it a prelude to scaring the shit out of him. I need to know what I'm working with.
Well, I'm not gonna tell you not to talk to 'im.
Sure do.

I'll drop him a line and make sure he gets back to you in one piece.
This is a serious present, [Caboose tells her as he picks out a complete set of candy 'jewelry' for each Church.] Construction paper isn't good enough. They will need the funnies section of the newspaper.
[A l s o getting candy for himself, shhh, nothing to see here.]
[A l s o getting candy for himself, shhh, nothing to see here.]
[ ...Right, because newspaper is more serious than construction paper. She's rolling her eyes, but not at all surprised he thinks that. It's better not to argue with Caboose.
Flatly: ] Are you going to use glitter tape, too?
[ And she might be reaching to try to swat his hand away from some of the candy. You do not need to go home with that much sugar, Caboose. ]

[Caboose has at least enough sense (or survival instincts) to not reach again for the stuff she smacks him away from. It means his own bag is lighter than he'd like, but at least he got some. Also he is still trying to sneak those gummy sharks.]
Yeah I'll probably get Mabel and Ripley to help me out? They're really good at making stuff look great. A And Mabel has twenty-seven different kinds of glitter.
[Tex played her game well. She's being handed an envelope with almost four hundred dollars in it, since that's what is left over. Caboose seems happy with his bags to dumb junk to give his friends anyway.] Thanks a lot for helping me, Tex! Everybody's gonna love their presents.

We're exchanging gifts the 24th, no earlier than 9 pm and it'll be after dinner. So no stalling on that.
What the hell are you getting me that costs that much?

Christmas Eve or you're getting jack shit.
And I'm not getting you anything worth that much. You'll bust it in two seconds and you're a cheaper ass than I am.
